Canvas for Android - Set Notification preferences in the Canvas App on Android devices
You can set notification preferences in the Canvas app to receive updates about your Canvas courses. Selected updates are push notifications, meaning notifications are sent to you even if you have not opened the Canvas app. You can choose to set notifications for specific contact methods, or you can set notifications for all devices.
Contact methods in the Canvas app are the same methods added to your Profile and User Settings int eh browser version of Canvas.
Notes:The images in this lesson are shown for a phone display. Mobile notifications are limited, but mobile preferences will override preferences in the browser version of Canvas. Additionally, daily and weekly notifications are not currently available in the app.
